At the outset, I thought it would be a nightmare of a holiday. We booked cheap airline tickets for our family (and friends) of 9 pax early on. Then I spent a whole week scouring for lodgings. I was on my 10th already as the previous 9 hotels, B&Bs, hostels, inns were all fully booked! Finally found 3 beachfront cottages but they didn't come cheap for an otherwise unremarkable beach hotel.

Retired early, but still active. Very involved in celebrating life! I love traveling because I always come back with less cobwebs in my mind. It is as if I empty my mind of all clutter upon departure, and fill it with many happy memories upon arrival. I also like the idea that life is so focused on the present, and my senses are all playing to listen, feel , see, smell and taste everything novel or not so new. The fact that I only have to choose from a limited wardrobe, or use the same pair of shoes throughout my holiday , or work and survive on a single budget make life so much simpler. ... full info

Make it one day soon!
You'd like the islands in El Nido. Easy to feel lazy there ;-)

Couldn't agree more
And I pray it won't turn into another Boracay. I do wish though that they'd have a more steady power source [:)]

Making me excited!
Off to Palawan in just over two weeks! Got 4 nights booked in El Nido, so hopefully do tours A, B and C over three days. Visiting Puerta Princessa and Port Barton too. What's the 'must eat' food then?

Hi Kris and Kate
I combined Tours A & B (700 pesos, about US$22) to free up a day to check out this remote beach (http://marilil.wordpress.com/2013/01/15/nacpan-calitang-beaches-paraiso-in-el-nido/) -- you can arrange with Lally & Abet Beach Cottages. As for food, local food should definitely be the fresh seafood-- crabs (from Bacuit Sea Grill), grilled fish & stuffed squid ( Aplaya Resto Bar), pizza and crepes from stalls off the streets! Enjoy. (Btw, I sent u a msg Nov 2011 -- yeah, a long time ago -- while I was in HCM. Thought I saw you in the condo bldg where I stayed! Did u get that?)
